A
A cargo ship has tanks for carrying fuel oil. The oil is measured in barrels, while the tank dimensions are in meters, 1m x 5m x 15m. How many barrels does the tank hold? How many gallons? (42 gal = 1 barrel)
A gas is contained in a cylinder with a moveable piston on which a heavy block is placed. Suppose the region outside the chamber is evacuated and the total mass of the block and the movable piston is 102 kg. When 2140 J of heat flows into the gas, the internal energy of the gas increases by 1580 J. what is the distance through which the piston rises?
So there is a demonstration in which a lighted candle was placed under two ordinary latex balloons.
-The first balloon was filled only with air. This balloon popped immediately.
-The second balloon was partially filled with water, then filled therest of the way with air. This balloon did not pop in the time allowed (basically takes way too long to pop).
1. What caused the first balloon to pop? Give at least two possibleexplanations, and thoroughly explain your points.
2. Why did the second balloon not pop in the time allowed? Giveat least two possible reasons, and thoroughly explain your points.
3. Predict how the demonstration would change if the flame of thecandle were directed at the top of the second balloon instead of beingheld directly beneath it? Explain your prediction.
4. Predict how the demonstration would change if the secondballoon contained ethanol instead of water. Explain your prediction.Also pls make your answer fit on just one side of 1 standard sheet of paper, so…
Activity A (continued from previous page)
4. Analyze: Look carefully for patterns in your data.
A. Does mass alone determine whether an object will float or sink?
Explain:
B. Does volume alone determine whether an object will float or sink?
Explain:
C. Compare the mass and volume of each object. What is true of the mass and volume
of all the floating objects?
D. What is true of the mass and volume of all the sinking objects?
5. Calculate: The density of an object is its mass per unit of volume. Dense objects feel very
heavy for their size, while objects with low density feel very light for their size.
To calculate density, divide the mass by volume: D = m/N. If mass is measured in grams
and volume in cubic centimeters, the unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm)
Calculate the density of each object, and record the answers in the last column of your data
table. Label this column "Density (g/cm³)."
6. Analyze: Compare the density of each object to the density of the liquid,…
